When you pay for enterprise equipment, you are typically paying a premium for longer, more robust support. Consumer products are less expensive because they don’t get this support.

I think this was a misunderstanding of a bit of shitty functionality in threads. If you had Instagram and made a linked threads account, you would see follow suggestions for people who hadn’t made an account yet. It was basically “if this person makes a threads account I want to be following them”. I don’t believe it meant those suggested people had a shadow account or anything like that though. Still sketchy and probably drove inorganic growth, but I believe the number of users is counting the number of people opting into opening an account.

It’s just naturally going to be incredibly high, because so many people use Instagram and would’ve been exposed.

It’s not just about calorie availability. Sugary drinks have that many calories, often provide little to no nutritional benefit aside from energy, and lack things like fiber and protein to make you feel full from them. The drink in the picture is an extreme example, but so many people out there drink 3 cans of cola a day without thinking twice.

I think they were making a joke about asking for the names of the communities so that they can go and browse them.
